Federal election Saturday, September 14, 2013

[wayneL]

I'll be back in Oz by the time the election comes around and will take great delight in playing my part in ridding Oz of this egregious mob of incompetents and sheisters.

The bonus will be being able the watch the beginning of the demise of the watermelons first hand.

The funniest part about today's proceedings was when the speaker advised the house that Bob Hawke was in the public gallery and Joe Hockey congratulated him on being the last Labor PM to deliver a surplus.

Thanks, db94. I hadn't seen that. From that item:

The Opposition has sought to embarrass the Federal Government by pointing out that nine Labor MPs have distributed a newsletter which says Labor has delivered a budget surplus.

I now remember how they announced that as if it was a fait accompli. How absolutely silly they look now.
The stupid thing is that there was never any imperative for them to deliver a surplus. Most commentators were against it. So they have landed themselves in deep **** purely by their own utterances.

On of Abbotts plans leaked. Personally I think its great and well over due. This could greatly contribute to economic growth in Australia. Thoughts?

+1. As always, depends on how well they execute it.

+1 It's crazy flying people up and back every other week. Also if we don't poulate it I'm sure eventually someone else will. it stands to reason.

Any hotel north of Rocky would make a good Parliament House.

The clientele would be more honest and less compromised by graft, than the mob in the "Big House" in Canberra..

And it's that further away from Perisher, to take temptation out of the way of the dim.

I think this is excellent as well.

I lived in Townsville for quite a few years and did some work at the Townsville General Hospital and the now Mater Hospital.

What I appreciate now is that people down south here do not have the foggiest idea about the amount of $$$ generated north of Brisbane ( I think Rocky should be included in this master plan )


I felt like jumping up and down when some moron said that people should not move up to a place "where they did not want to live" and that people down south should not be subsidising tax incentives for people up north... Well WAKE UP MORON, people up north have been subsidising your lifestyle for years.


I also believe that the greatest natural resource going forward will be arable land, of which there is plenty available, with plenty of water. Someone needs vision to enable this. (As long as we stop selling our strategic resources to China.. but that is another topic)

It would be interesting to see a split in revenue earnt north and south of the 26th parallel.

Then you get Labor leaning reporting like this.

http://www.smh.com.au/business/top-end-tax-utopia-all-right-for-rinehart-20130207-2e0qc.html

Tax utopia, she says, well if it is maybe Adele would go North. That would be nice.

There was tax breaks above the 26th parrallel, when I worked there.
However the increase in cost of living up there soon ate up any tax concession.
That write up is just an absolute waste of journalistic ability, adds to nothing and could have been written by any Labor party hack.
Is there any wonder newspapers are struggling.

Here is another classic.
And today it was on the policy front the Coalition found itself in hot water, with its leaders spending the day playing down a leaked report on the Coalition's plan to transform northern Australia into an economic power base and food bowl.

Why should they find themselves in hot water, when they are suggesting we do the intelligent thing and develop Northern Australia? Just dumb reporting, playing to Labors idiotic rhetoric IMO

 

[sptrawler]

Another, great headline from the ABC. "Unemployment steady, despite job losses"
However if you read the article, it doesn't paint as rosy a picture.

What makes you think that this communist state will let some one like you in?

THIS! i dunno why the lib's played it down, its a great idea

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

I must admit I am getting tired of the constant negativity towards the Coalition ideas and policies by Gillard, Swan and Emerson.

They need to, if they want to be re-elected, to be more positive about the economy and the future of Australia.

Constant negativity from the ALP will be recognised by the electorate for what it is.
